Latest Xbox Updates

The world of Metro: Exodus looks more frightening and unlivable every time it's shown off. The Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC game was detailed in its harsh post-nuclear landscape of snow and recognizable Metro franchise mutants. The overlying narration sounds melancholy and ominous, and there is plenty of time for more excitement to brew before the game drops in fall of 2018.

A Way Out, a unique-looking co-op game announced earlier this year, received a brand new trailer at The Game Awards. New maneuvers and story details were shown off, and the developers seem passionate about the title.

During The Game Awards, THQ Nordic revealed a brand new survival game called Fade to Silence. The reveal trailer shows the player facing off against harsh weather conditions and gigantic monsters. Little details were given about the game, but it is being released on Steam Early Access on December 14th. Fade to Silence will fully release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC next year.

The pre-show for the 2017 Game Awards kicked into a higher gear with the announcement that the famous story of World War Z will be getting a video game adaptation for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. The gameplay looks reminiscent of the upcoming Days Gone for PlayStation 4, and I guess we will see if the game is more faithful to the novel than the Brad Pitt film was.

The Game Awards are finally being presented tomorrow, and many gamers are excited to see which title from 2017 will claim the prestigious Game of the Year award. To add to this excitement, there will be many special guests to hand out the awards this year.

Capcom has officially announced a new Mega Man game, the first new entry in the Mega Man series since the release of Mega Man 10 back in 2010. Mega Man 11 will be a side-scrolling platformer, like all its predecessors, but now with high-definition 3D graphics. The game is expected to come out for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in "late 2018."

The Final Fantasy series celebrated its 30th anniversary this year with the release of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age and a brand new expansion to Final Fantasy XIV called Stormblood. A constant stream of DLC has also been coming out for Final Fantasy XV. So far it's been a great year for fans of the series, but it looks like Square Enix won't be holding back any Final Fantasy goodies in 2018.

For fans of Sonic the Hedgehog, the Blue Blur's 25th anniversary closed on a pretty good note with Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice in 2016, but not without teasing two major return-to-form titles in the coming year. Blue believers who grew up with a SEGA Genesis in their youth—or a Mega Collection of sorts in later years like myself—were promised a brand new 2D game developed by community all-stars who would embrace nostalgia and reimagine the classic Sonic experience. On the other hand, those who enjoyed Sonic's more recent adventures were teased with Sonic Team's very own "Project Sonic 2017," bringing Modern Sonic not only back to Boost-style gameplay last seen in Sonic Generations, but also to darker and more serious storytelling of the pre-Colors games.

It's safe to say that SEGA is aware of the insane following Sonic the Hedgehog has online.The Sonic Boom television series has made several jabs at the online Sonic community, and the official Twitter account for the blue hedgehog doesn't hold back either. Now one of the most infamous Sonic memes has made its way into Sonic Forces in the form of a Sanic t-shirt.

Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, creators of the wildly-popular indie title Cuphead, confirmed during an interview with IGN that they definitely plan on bringing Cuphead back in a future game. When asked whether Cuphead has a chance of returning someday, Jared Moldenhauer immediately responded that he is "guaranteed to come back," but he admitted that he and his brother have not had time to discuss any concrete plans.

The Game Awards will be airing on December 7th this year, and the nominees have all been officially announced. There are many different categories this year, such as Best Performance, Best Student Game, Best Chinese Game, and many more. But most people watching the show will be looking at one award in particular: Game of the Year. The contenders for this biggest category include Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Many Star Wars fans are rejoicing because the deluxe version of Star Wars Battlefront II will be available to play tonight. While many fans are excited to get their hands on the newest entry in the series, there has been a lot of negative outcry toward the game over microtransactions. EA is no stranger to controversy when it comes to potential greed, but this situation has people riled up unlike any before it.

In Battlefront II, players will earn credits every time they play a multiplayer match. These credits can be used to unlock vehicles, weapons, and characters to play as. This sounds pretty standard at first, but one Reddit user by the name of TheHotterPotato discovered a horrible truth under it all.

Blizzard just revealed a new Overwatch hero at Blizzcon 2017. Her name is Moira, and she is an Irish research scientist and support healer who harnesses the power of shadows in battle. We don't have a release date for her so far, but Blizzard has given us a backstory trailer for her, detailing her past as a scientist.

The Kinect has been a staple for Xbox systems since its launch in 2010, bringing Microsoft into the world of motion controls. The device had its ups and downs throughout the years, but it was widely dismissed by a majority of gamers for being dysfunctional and gimmicky. Now, we can officially say goodbye to this piece of gaming history, as Microsoft has officially ended production.
